Factbook for Numbered Biblical Books
When I type "1 Peter" into the Factbook, I get a long list of commentaries by that title. I know Logos well enough to realize that I should have entered "First Epistle of Peter." But if the Factbook is being increasingly pushed by Faithlife as the go-to location for new users, I think that when there is an an equivalent "Named Text" entry in the Factbook, it should get priority over other monographs, at least for the common alternate spellings (1 Peter, I Peter - it is the first result for First Peter already, but I am not sure if this is the case for every book).
Likewise, "1 Samuel" gives me "Events in 1 Samuel" as a suggestion, but not the book First Samuel itself!
I do appreciate all of the improvements made to Factbook, but this is coming from someone with a ~20k resource library who has purchased Logos for several other people and would love to make it easier for them to use. The Factbook as a starting point is a great idea, but what it will do with various inputs has got to become more intuitive. Handling books of the Bible is a sine qua non.

We've got an open case to improve this. You are right that the "First Epistle of Peter" should be showing up first in the list when you type "1 Peter". I've added a link to this thread in the case.

Thanks, Andrew. Logos 9 is such a fantastic iterative improvement over the already great 8 that I am constantly noticing little improvements I had not recognized before, so this kind of stuff stands out more than it would have otherwise.
